Goku held Midori-ko close to his bare chest as he watched her sleep. Brushing her hair out of her eyes. Goku was still amazed someone like Midori-ko would even look his way.
He had to find a way to end up with Midori-ko, Goku was sure it'd break him if they had to go sperate ways.
Goku was unable to sleep that night, he left Midori-ko in his room knowing she'd be able to sleep soundly.
If Goku couldn't fight Prince Kaname for Midori-ko Goku would find another way.
" Goku?" Mr Popo leaned into the library to see Goku at a table flipping through a book
" Oh hi Mr Popo." Goku looks up
" Everything okay?" Mr Popo asks
" Not really." Goku sighs
" I didn't think so, I don't know if I've ever seen you read." Mr Popo points out
" I know how to read it's just...I'm trying to research something." Goku says setting the book down
" Research? Goku your training doesn't require research." Mr Popo tells him
" Yeah I know." Goku says "Mr Popo how much do you know about arranged marriages?"
" Not too much just usually they're set up when both parties are small children or sometimes babies and that it's mostly for political reasons not love." Mr Popo explains
" That's what I gathered too." Goku nods "Do you know how to break a betrothal?" Goku asks
" I'm sorry Goku." Mr Popo shook his head 'no'
" It's okay." Goku sighs
A year had passed since Midori-ko started training with Goku.
He was getting stronger each day they trained.
Now both 17 and more in love then previously.
Goku was still getting taller every day and Midori-ko more womanly and beautiful.
Goku was everything Midori-ko had dreamed of and more.
Goku was still determined to not only defeat Piccolo Jr but also make it so she didn't have to marry Prince Kaname.
Midori-ko hoped Goku would find a way.
Maybe there could be a way she could help, Midori-ko had thought long and hard about it and her mother made that sacrifice so Midori-ko could live and be happy.
And Goku was what made her happy.
Midori-ko waited for Goku to head to sleep one night and she approached Kami.
" Kami." Midori-ko made her presence known
" Yes Lady Midori-ko?" Kami yawns he was sitting in his reading chair
" I need to leave the lookout for a day or so." Midori-ko informs him
" My Lady you are supposed to stay on the lookout." Kami reminds her
" And might I remind you that you technically don't have any power over me." Midori-ko smirks
" Hmmm what do you need?" Kami raises an eye brow
" I need to know where Fortuneteller Baba lives." Midori-ko tells Kami
"For what purpose?" Kami asks
" For peace of mind." Midori-ko says
"Very well, the old witch lives in a palace just north of the Southwest forest, the palace is surrounded by a large lake." Kami explains "The address is FS 199644 CC." Kami conjured a piece of paper and pen and writes down the address and holds out the paper to her
" Thank you Kami." Midori-ko took the paper
" What shall I tell Goku? He'll worry." Kami asks
" I know he's like a lost puppy without me." Midori-ko chews her thumbnail
" You said it not me." Kami nods
" Tell him I went to visit my father and I'm safe." Midori-ko says
" Fine." Kami takes a sip of his tea "You'll be back in a day?" He asks
" Before the sun sets the day after tomorrow." Midori-ko tells Kami
" Travel safely."
" Fortuneteller Baba! Fortuneteller Baba!" One of her ghosts zoomed into when Baba was reading a wealthy older woman's fortune.
" What is it?" Baba snaps " Can't you see I'm busy?"
" But madam we have a very special visitor." The ghost explains
" They can wait." Baba snaps
" I brought cash." Midori-ko leaned on the doorway of Baba's fortune-telling room
" L-Lady Midori-ko." Baba stumbled on her words before bowing "What brings you to my humble home?"
" I need an answer to something." Midori-ko tells Baba
" Anything." Baba says
" Hey you didn't finish my fortune." The wealthy older woman complains
" Go ahead and finish I'll wait." Midori-ko crossed her arms
" Yes my Lady Midori-ko." Baba nods
Fortuneteller Baba wrapped up the session with the older wealthy woman and rushed Midori-ko into the room
" How much do I owe you?" Midori-ko sits cross legged in front of the crystal ball
" We'll talk numbers after My Lady." Baba says
" Whatever." She rolls her eyes
" What does My Lady wish to know?" Baba asks
" I've been trying to think of a way to articulate this but I've been unsuccessful." Midori-ko tells Baba
" Say what's on your mind." Baba tells her
" I wish to marry Son Goku." Midori-ko says her heart racing
" Son Goku?" Baba asks "Does he know?"
" Yes he knows." Midori-ko scowls
" Forgive me Son Goku is a good boy and he's grown very handsome he's just not very bri...""Not very what?" Midori-ko growls her eyes flashing red
" Nevermind." Baba looks down
" That's what I thought." Midori-ko rolls her eyes "Anyway I want to know if it's possible for me to marry Goku."
" Because of your betrothal to The Dragon Prince?" Baba asks
" Correct." Midori-ko nods
" Let me see My Lady." Baba says looking into her crystal ball
Baba squints at her crystal ball for about five minutes and her eyes widened and fortuneteller Baba gasping
" Well?" Midori-ko asks
"Son Goku will become the greatest warrior in his time and will be celebrated as a hero not only in our universe but several others as well." Baba says still looking into her crystal ball
" Okay."
" Son Goku will save the world three no five times he will climb in strength and just keep breaking barriers until he's even stronger." Baba adds
" Good but what about what I asked?" Midori-ko sighs
"Son Goku will never be able to full fill his destiny if he marries you." Baba looks into Midori-ko's eyes
"What are you saying?" Midori-ko pauses feeling ice cold
"That if you defy everything that's been set forth for you My Lady Midori-ko, Son Goku will be yours but he will not become what I just read." Baba reveals
" But that's... that's Goku's dream." Midori-ko suddenly felt very small "He has to become the greatest warrior I want that for him." She clenched her fists
" I'm sorry My Lady Midori-ko." Baba sighs
" No this what I came here for." Midori-ko stood
" Forgive me." Baba looks down
" How much do I owe you?" Midori-ko opens her purse
" It's on the house." Baba says
Midori-ko's eyes flashed red before she opened her wallet dumped all her money on the floor
" Fucking keep it." Midori-ko snaps
